人生课程-别浪费时间(1)

Life lesson 人生课程

 

It's a waste of time and energy to find the person, people or organization to "blame" for your troubles.

 

人生一旦遇到麻烦，就直接想要去寻找可以归咎的个体、他人或者组织，这完全是对时间和精力的浪费。

 

There are so many things in life that aren'tfair; I teach my kids it is the one four-letter word I never want to hear them utter¹.

 

Why? Because you can't right all of the wrongs,and you won't ever be at peace if you are looking for fair

 

Does that mean you don't try to change things or fix yourself? Of course not! But, more importantly, focus on those things you can control and you can influence.

 

Spend minimal² time on those things that are completely out of your control. Instead of blaming and finger-pointing, figure out what you can do to make a difference.

 

1 utter

参考例句：

2 minimal
